In Memoriam RICHARD L. McEWEN In memory of Richard L. McEwen, our Algebra teacher, who was fatally injured in an automobile accident, December 29, 1950. His death was keenly felt by the student body and faculty. Crossing the Bar Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may the re be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea. But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound or foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; For though from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. —ALFRED TENNYSON [4]

Shea lion It was a great task which Mr. Charles Buzard undertook when he decided to coach the N. B. H. S. football team and attempt to lead it from the dark and tangled paths of defeat to the lucid, clear paths of victory. With the zeal of a sculptor creating a statue, Mr. Buzard began to mold a “team,” a group of fellows working for the common benefit of all. Immediately the players came to life. No longer the “defeated” attitude reigned; no longer was there the fear that a fellow player would lie down on his job. Game after game was won through his cool judgment, his experience, and his all around capable leadership. The team completed a victorious season with a record of nine wins, one loss, and one tie. Therefore, we the Class of 1951, are proud to dedicate this issue to a fine coach and leader who gave New Brighton her first W. P. I. A. L. Class A football co-championship. [5]
